Almaty was the capital of Kazakhstan from 1929 to 1997. Now it is a big commercial and cultural center of the country. It is also the most developed and the largest city with a population of more than 1 700 000 (one million seven hundred thousand) people, which makes up 9% of Kazakhstan’s total population.
